About this study

Through an observational clinical study, partly prospective and partly retrospective, based on the collection of clinical data and on in vitro experimental analyses carried out on residual biological samples obtained during routine clinical procedures, it is proposed to identify predictive biomarkers of in vivo response to first-line therapies.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Identification of predictive biomarkers of response to proteasome inhibitor-based first-line therapy in AL amyloidosis

    To identify and validate biological, genetic, and proteomic biomarkers predictive of in vivo response to proteasome inhibitor-based first-line therapies in patients with AL amyloidosis. This will be achieved through the integration of ex vivo drug sensitivity assays performed on patient-derived CD138+ plasma cells, characterization of plasma cell and mesenchymal stromal cell biological features, and retrospective and prospective molecular analyses. Biomarker profiles will be correlated with hematologic response at 6 months and used to develop a predictive statistical model of treatment response.

    Measured: From baseline (diagnosis) to 6 months after initiation of first-line therapy

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Molecular characterization of mechanisms of resistance to proteasome inhibitors

    To investigate the mutational, transcriptional, and proteomic profiles associated with in vivo resistance to proteasome inhibitors by comparing plasma cell clones at diagnosis and minimal residual disease (MRD). Analyses will include next-generation sequencing, targeted DNA sequencing of genes involved in proteostasis, and quantitative proteomics to identify molecular determinants of drug resistance.

    Measured: From baseline (diagnosis) to MRD assessment after achievement of complete hematologic response (approximately up to 12-24 months)

  2. Evaluation of the therapeutic potential of deubiquitinating enzyme (DUB) inhibitors

    To assess the ex vivo sensitivity of patient-derived amyloidogenic plasma cells to DUB inhibitors and to characterize the expression of DUB family members at RNA and protein level. The study will evaluate whether DUB inhibition can overcome resistance to proteasome inhibitors and identify candidate DUB inhibitors for therapeutic development.

    Measured: At baseline (sample collection at diagnosis) and during ex vivo experimental analyses

  3. Role of mesenchymal stromal cells in modulating drug response

    To evaluate the contribution of patient-derived mesenchymal stromal cells to resistance against proteasome inhibitors by assessing their protective effect in co-culture systems with amyloidogenic plasma cells or cell lines.

    Measured: At baseline (sample collection at diagnosis) and during ex vivo experimental analyses

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of AL Amyloidosis, run by Fondazione IRCCS Policlinico San Matteo di Pavia at 1 site in Italy.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 6 inclusion and 5 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 13 May 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Italy. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Identification of predictive biomarkers of response to proteasome inhibitor-based first-line therapy in AL amyloidosis (time frame: From baseline (diagnosis) to 6 months after initiation of first-line therapy). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 13 May 2026.
